An inventory database and an active inventory each store inventory data indicating a current status of an influence relationship between elements included in the communication system. An E2EO module detects occurrence of an event in a specific element included in the communication system. The E2EO module identifies at least one other element having an influence relationship with the specific element based on the inventory data. The E2EO module identifies a cause of the event based on a status of the at least one other element.
